Chapter 121: Chapter 121

Liu Er nodded. "What’s up, bro? Oh, this place is a bit shabby, but we’re not wealthy young masters. The work isn’t too hard, and we get paid three thousand a month. This deal, let’s just put up with it."

"Heh, you do understand. So why aren’t you working there anymore?"

"You know... there were troubles, right? Okay, you guys rest up, I won’t bother you anymore."

After saying hello to Ye Tian and the others, Liu Er left the room and immediately saw the chubby security guard coming his way, hastening over to him.

"Big brother, these few guys... they’re not good people."

"Nonsense! Good people wouldn’t have beaten Gouzi up like this."

Liu Er saw the slim security guard behind him cradling his arm and grimacing in pain, knowing the guy had been beaten up pretty badly.

"Big brother, what should we do?"

"What to do? Just deal with it!"

A hint of malice flashed in the chubby security guard’s eyes as he turned and walked away. Anyway, his tenure as a security guard was over, and whatever happened in the residential area wasn’t their business anymore.

In the afternoon, they went to the property management to receive their security uniforms. Ostensibly, it was for an interview, but it was just to see if they looked the part. With Zhang Houtu’s muscular frame and Ye Tian’s slightly handsome face, the interview was virtually a pass. Although Pig Hu’s appearance was a bit rough, no one cared about looks in the surveillance room. Excluding Liu Zhongshi, three security guards officially started their jobs in the villa district by Fengyue Lake.

Because Zhang Houtu had an honest look and his smile made others feel safe, and his body was tall and imposing, he took up the job of greeting people with a salute at the entrance. Due to his looks, Pig Hu just lay in the surveillance room to monitor the screens. For Ye Tian, the task was the simplest: just stroll around the residential area, especially keeping an eye on the blind spots of the cameras. The three of them had settled into life in Beiping City.

The pots and pans in the bedroom were bought from the shopping mall opposite, all the cheapest clearance items. Ye Tian meticulously wrote down today’s expenses in a notebook: iron pot, fifteen, a bag of salt, one yuan fifty, peanut oil, ten yuan a bottle...

The bank card was given to him by Mo Yan. One should not owe money to a woman.

After settling into this home that wasn’t much bigger than a toilet, the three of them, Ye Tian included, finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least they had settled down.

This high-end villa district by Fengyue Lake, near Huairou, was naturally next to the lake. In the afternoon, Ye Tian came to the lake alone, considering it was part of his patrol area, and no one would label him a slacker for being here. He had just sat down when Pig Hu also walked over, which surprised Ye Tian a bit.

"Why are you here? Not watching your screens? Didn’t you say there were lots of beauties?"

"Don’t mention it, the residents here are all big bosses, the women are all over forty, where are the beauties? They’re all saggy-breasted, flat-bottomed women." Pig Hu sat down next to Ye Tian with a gloomy face and took out two cigarettes, handing one to Ye Tian.

A gentle breeze blew by, the water shimmering in the light.

"Missing Jingwei?"

A wisp of blue smoke curled around Ye Tian’s face, causing him to blink. "What’s there to miss? At least being with Old Master Gu, he’s got some blessings to enjoy, won’t suffer along with me."

Pig Hu unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, taking a deep breath, "This damn shirt is suffocating."

"It’s just a piece of skin, if it’s suffocating you just take it off."

"This skin can be taken off, but that layer of skin in my heart, it’s itchy to death, can’t scratch through it, nor tear it off, what should I do?"

Ye Tian glanced at him, looking at the lake surface he said, "What is it that you want to say."

"Take it easy, I know it’s tough for you, I also know you have burdens, Jingwei is like your own half son after all, Uncle Liu is like your grandfather, having your home destroyed and family members lost is unbearable for anyone. But brother, don’t forget, we’ll eventually go back for revenge. Even if it’s in Beiping City, we’ve got to let them bleed!"

Bleed? Ye Tian chuckled, "Old Hu, I really did miss Jingwei, that kid when he was in the mountains, he didn’t do less of gutting animals, no shortage of bleeding them, we must call him when it’s time!"

"Right! We’ll call him!"

"I can sell my life for you, but I can’t go to Beiping City, there’s someone there who wants me dead."

"In Beiping City, Mo Family calls the shots."

"What if it’s people from the country?"

"...In Beiping City, the Mo Family has the say, not even the country can do anything."

Looking at the lake, Ye Tian murmured to himself, "Mo Family, indeed a bit interesting."

Having someone covering you does give a sense of security.

After a storm, you might not see a rainbow, but at least you can catch a breath.

Life by the Fengyue Lake was actually quite peaceful. Every day at 5 am, Ye Tian and Zhang Houtu would get up on time, with Pig Hu being lazy by nature and stubbornly getting up at seven, claiming to keep Uncle Liu company—no one would believe his words.

After getting up, Ye Tian and the other would run five laps around Fengyue Lake, basically a distance of about five kilometers. After the run, Zhang Houtu would practice Tai Chi, while Ye Tian would do a set of Five Elements Fist, which actually was a derivative version of Hua Tuo’s Five Animals Qigong. After completing the set, they would sit there absorbing the essence of the rising sun, and also ponder over the mysterious Nine Emperor Bell on his wrist.

Ye Tian was still frightened by the last explosion; he was not someone who forgets the pain once the wound heals. He had suffered a lot in this life, but never had such a bitter experience where enduring hardships had yet to bring any returns. It is often said that efforts pay off, but so far, besides the Nine Emperor Bell embedded in his wrist, Ye Tian had nothing else.

Ye Tian had also thought that there weren’t people without special abilities in this world. Why not find someone to help him see if the Nine Emperor Bell is really as powerful as Pig Hu said, whether that Hua Tuo really had a medical book written by himself? However, after encountering Lei Bao, Ye Tian’s idea gradually dissipated. Not to mention whether the legend of the Nine Emperor Bell was true or false, even if it was true, did he really have to rely on this blood-sucking thing to survive? Was he to rely on this little thing to avenge his brothers and seek justice for himself and the Dragon Team? Bullshit, probably before getting close to them, he would already have been drained into a mummy.

In this world, it’s often said it’s all about power and money, but in actual face-to-face confrontations, the one with the best chance is to grab a knife and charge into the fray! Ye Tian was used to the sense of security his own hands brought him, relying on external things, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

"Why do you always stare at your wrist?" The sun had already risen, and the whole face had emerged from the embrace of the distant mountains, Ye Tian watched as the soft light stretched Zhang Houtu’s shadow very long.

Watching him, Tai Chi wasn’t exactly an effortless task. Zhang Houtu had a white towel draped over his shoulder, bought by Pig Hu, one yuan each, stubbornly haggled down to 90 cents.
